And?

Make them find new ones. And new ones after that. And after that.

Eventually that well will dry up.

This is the stupidest take.

If anything, you're arguing that the protests accomplished none of the goals of the protestors, and only managed to escalate and incite a response that was a "warning" that worse will come if we don't keep it up.

So... it still seems fucking pointless to me? Like for fucks sake, we're all just waiting for him to die of natural causes and hope that the coalition falls apart, doing a whole bunch of pointless shit until then because we all know that violence is the only way to remove him at this point.

Naive fucks. The people who support him are just as committed to keeping power.

The robots don't judge, either. And you can be as cruel, as stupid, as mindless as you want. And they will tell you how amazing and special you are.

Advertising was the science of psychological warfare, and AI is trained with all the tools and methods for manipulating humans. We're devastatingly fucked.

It’s essentially not different than the current situation from an exploitability aspect.

That's why it sucks, man.

That sounds like an interesting novel or movie, but utterly impractical in the real world.

Entirely too easy to game, or imagine a scenario where several generations after it's implementation, "high producing" robot jobs are inherited, creating a permanent upper class and a permanent lower class, because the only jobs that EVERYONE has access to are the jobs that will break your robot, and your bank.

It’s clear that advertising has a lot of power to influence people’s choices, otherwise oligarchs wouldn’t burn so much money on it.

Marketing, advertising, etc. It's a science, a field of study. What is the goal? To make people buy things, ostensibly. How do they chose to do achieve that goal? Deep analysis of the human psyche and studying methods to manipulate them into taking intended actions.

Advertising is the science of psychological warfare.

When people don't know any better, we're all very much "monkey see monkey do".

A lot of us grew up with examples of the kinds of parents we don't want to be, not many of us grew up with good examples of the kind of parenting we would like to provide.

I still chose to blame the republicans.

No one ever just blames them directly in these conversations. It's always "blame the protest non-voters" or "blame the leftists" or whatever.

Just go directly to blaming the people who gleefully voted for it. Everything else is just infighting and stupid.

I'm there. I live in the south.

My local community network is in favor of this bullshit. Safe communities are hidden, and I don't know how to find them.

For real. Their ideaology is so twisted. They think that in order to attract women, they should be a what a man's idea of an attractive man is. And instead, being what a woman would find attractive is somehow... gay? Like, I just don't get it, like there's a very fundamental misunderstanding of what it is they are trying to do. Very square peg in a round hole situation.
